Earlier this week I saw a recipe (by What Megan’s Making) for some cosmic brownies that looked like they needed to be made in my kitchen… like ASAP. So, I bookmarked the recipe, Facebooked about needing brownies in my life… and then seriously, made it happen.

Usually when I bookmark a recipe, it stays there for a few days until I muster up the energy to make them. But… not these brownies. Two bowls, no mixer and only 18 minutes in the oven. Seriously, it only took 45 minutes before I was putting one in my mouth.

The original recipe called for mini M&M’s on top… but I didn’t have any. So I used rainbow sprinkle jimmies. I also tweaked the ganache recipe a bit too.

I made these a few weeks ago for fun because I love all of your delicious photos, now I’m making them to take to family dinner on Saturday!! I even bought the same sprinkles you used because the first time I just used random ones. I think that because they are so rich, mini m&ms would be over doing it. I had never made ganache before and the way you instructed to do it worked perfectly!! I’m so glad too because sometimes (as a newbie baker) I get a bit discouraged. I should have taken a picture of my kitchen though because I used a lot more than two bowls…I will try to make less of a mess this time!! Thanks so much <3
